Amazing Guide and Great Tour! - Our guide was simply amazing! Ludovica Noviello was knowledgable, friendly, and entertaining! She was the best tour guide we had throughout our two week trip in Italy!

Terrific tour - Our guide was fantastic. Not only did we learn about the sites that we were going to see but we also learnt a bit about daily life in Siena, with the 17 different neighborhoods and just the rivalries between the neighborhoods. And she told us all about the horse racing that is done twice a year in July in August.

Great Tour Mixed with a History Lesson - The meeting place and tour guide were easy to spot, unlike some of the other tours we had booked. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable. It was a small group and we were able to ask a lot of questions and had time to take photos along the way. She made sure as we were walking up and down steps and the inclined roads that we were able to keep up doing okay. She pointed the different sites and told stories/legends about them which made it all more interesting and enjoyable.

Awesome Guide!! - Giulia was very knowledgeable and made our tour super enjoyable! You can tell she cares about the history of Siena. Our group was very small (4 people) which made navigating the city and lines very manageable. This tour is 1000% worth it!!

Personalized and Memorable - My tour guide was excellent! As it was a solo tour I shared with her my reasons for being in Siena and she customized and personalized the tour according to my interests! She was so personable and knowledgeable, and we made the most of the three hours we had together. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and will certainly remember it!

informative tour sienna - It was a great tour and I learned a lot, but I would have liked headphones to hear better as there is so much information to take in and it is noisy with all the people around

A bit too slow paced - Unfortunately, this tour was a little slow paced for me. Some of the stories were interesting (for example about the famous horse races) but quite a bit was dull and the tour guide was just not engaging. We were a small group, which was great, but overall we did not feel this was a great of use of our time in Sienna.

A Positive Experience Because a Guide Went Out of Way - I was hit by a van on my way. I already was in a brace and sling so those who saw were concerned. I did my best to get to the meeting place, but missed them. I contacted Victor to see if they could find out where the group was. I was told they couldn’t disturb him. I walked the way most guides were going with their group, but couldn’t locate mine. I was declared a no show with no refund. The only plus was that at the end of the two hour part, the guide Elio Martino contacted me and said he would meet me and give me my ticket that I could use on my own. He didn’t stop there, but took me into St Catherine’s and gave me an overview of it and then a quick overview of which way I should walk, what to look for, and the main features of the Siena Cathedral or Duomo di Siena. My day was saved.
